18.Laptop computers are popular all over the world.People use them on trains and airplanes,in airports and hotels.These laptops connect people to their workplace.In the United States today,laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.Within five years,each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop.The laptops are part of a$10 million computer program at Westlake,a 110-year-old college.The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet.In addition,they will be able to use e-mail to"speak"with their teachers,their classmates,and their families.However,the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.They can work with it at home,in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology,laptop use in higher education,such as colleges and universities,is workable.As laptops become more powerful,they become more similar to desktop computers.In addition,the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet,but also libraries and other resources.State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students.State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities,too.
At Westlake College,more than 60 percent of the staff use computers.The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.As one Westlake teacher said,"Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything."

24.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop toA.
A.use for their schoolwork
B.a(chǎn)ccess the Internet
C.work at home
D.connect them to libraries
25.Which of the following is true about Westlake College?C
A.All teachers use computers.
B.1500 students have laptops.
C.It is an old college in America.
D.Students there can do everything.
26.A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students canC.
A.a(chǎn)ttend lectures on information technology
B.travel around the world
C.get information from around the world
D.have free laptops
27.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.The program is successful.
B.The program is not workable.
C.The program is too expensive.
D.We don't know the result of the program yet.

9.Instagram is containing so many photos of food-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly,but at this new  pop-up restaurant in the UK,I'd probably do it too.'The Picture House'is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant-you order,click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人)Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for,if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's'Food for Life'campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food."Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special,"said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far.And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year,in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.ziyuanku.com
 
25.Instagram probably isD
A.a(chǎn) restaurant free of charge
B.a(chǎn) campaign of"Food for Life"
C.a(chǎn) new marketing project
D.a(chǎn) program used to share photos
26."The Picture House"encourages sharing photos of its food toB.
A.raise the price of frozen food
B.a(chǎn)ttract more customers
C.create a new social media trend
D.reward the regular customers
27.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?C
A.No Need to Pay.
B.The Pop-up Diner.
C.Pay by Picture.
D.Food for Life.

13.假定你是中學生李華.在一位名叫 Tiger Mom 的學生家長的博客上,你看到如下內(nèi)容.請你根據(jù)博客內(nèi)容、寫作要點和要求,給這位家長回復.
I'm the mother of a fourteen-year-old.I have a rule for my daughter:be among the top 5students or get punished in one way or another.She has been doing very well in school,but some friends of mine keep telling me that I put too much pressure on her.Am I wrong?
寫作要點:
1.表明自己的看法;
2.陳述至少兩點理由;
3.提出至少兩條建議.
要求:
1.短文詞數(shù)不少于 100(不含已寫好的部分);
2.內(nèi)容充實,結構完整,語意連貫;
3.書寫須清晰、工整.
Hi,Tiger Mom,
What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China.As far as I'm concerned,it is not quite right for you to do so.My reasons are as follows.
Firstly,too much pressure leads to lack of time to participate in after-classactivities.As a result,your daughter can't get fully developed.Furthermore,by no means is punishment a wise choice to help her build self-confidence,which is of great importance and value to a person.
So I suggest you take your friends'advice.Instead of putting too much pressure on you daughter,it is more advisable to allow her more time for other activities.Besides,you might as well let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do and give her support and encouragementin time.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful.
Li Hua.
